IMPRovED BURIAL-c'Asn.v

The Schedule refen'eto in these Letters Patent and making part of the same'.

To all whom it 'may concern l Be it known that I, J. A. BANDRIDGE, of Bualo in the county of Erie, and State of New York', have invented a new and useful Improvement in Burial- Cases; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact vdescription thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and .use the saine. Y

rI his invention relates to improvements in burialeases, the object of which is to provide highly ornamental eases by a moresiripl'mi-inexpensive prof cess than the present modes of constructing them.

Figure 1 represents a-top view of my `improved burial-case, withthe ornamentation, hereinafter de-l scribed, upon its cover. s

Figure 2 is a transverse sectional-view of the said cover. v

My'proeess consists in taking ametallie piateand producing on one surface reof any desirgmrnlwomrnamentation, aiiixing a thin sheet or layer of adhesive substance on the top -of the cover, and then uniting the three materials togethebypressure under a dry heat. By this process I form aease for burial or anale:

gous purposes; which combines any degree or quality of ornamentation, with great durability, and eeonom y in the cost of production.

I have, nvodesign to claim as of my invention electro-platin g or any particular method of ornamentation but r 4 What I do eiaim,vand desire to lsecure by Letters VAs an article of manufae'tufe, a burial-ease of Wood, Velectro-plated and ornamentedas vset forthin specification. V
